Native to the rocky mountains of Europe and parts of Asia, it evolved in exposed, drought-prone terrain where cold and harsh conditions are the norm. That alpine heritage makes it one of the most resilient succulents you can grow.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Flower_a2da558c-5726-458a-a06c-1a5f7fedc366_480x480.png?v=1600397290\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Highland Mist forms tight, symmetrical rosettes with fleshy, pointed leaves that carry a soft silvery, misty quality.
